Option to disable transcoding / change transcoding options by library

Specifically for UHD films.

Hi there, are you seeing transcoding somewhere and you feel it shouldn't be happening?

Because chrome and firefox do not support HEVC, Emby transcodes x264 on UHD films. While I know the steps to play natively, other users may not know these steps. It would be nice to disable transcoding on my UHD library since my Intel 630 can only support two UHD transcodes.

I see. So you're saying you'd rather have the browser put up an error message, right?

Yes, that would work.

Actually, I take it back. It transcodes to x264 on Internet Edge, which supports x265 natively. Is native playback limited to emby apps?

 

Edit: I'll make a bug report. Still would like the feature mentioned though.

Can you post the ffmpeg log for this.
